I recently came upon a show from the 2000's called "As If" that aired on Channel 4 in the UK. One of the main characters is gay and has male romantic interests throughout the show's four season run. You can find clips of the show on YouTube. Unfortunately there seems to be two episodes from the show- ones that have gay storylines, episode 4 of season 2 and episode 15 of season 4 that seem to be found nowhere in full (not that I could find anyway).
Would be interesting to hear if anyone remembers watching this show or if anyone has any advice on how to find it on the internet. The show as far as I know was never released on dvd or streaming since the rights to the music were far too expensive. All the episodes actually have been uploaded on YouTube each in three parts, but part 2 of every episodes is blocked in all countries due to copyright. Both episodes can also be found in full but dubbed over in another language.
